Tony O’Brien is a chartered civil engineer and specialist in geotechnical and foundation #engineering. He has spent more than 40 years improving engineers’ understanding of the ground beneath our feet. He is a leading light in employing the observational method (OM) and the global leader for our #geotechnics practice, a 500-strong international team of professionals that he has helped build. “Geotechnical engineering is art and science,” says Tony. “It isn’t magic, but the benefits we can delive

The observational method (OM) often delivers dramatic time, cost and safety benefits on complex #CivilEngineering projects, so how are #digital tools taking things further? Where OM helps to predict movement of the ground and underground structures to ensure effective #construction control – a new software solution DAARWIN boosts it, recalibrating the design to better match the reality. Delve into the trial and implementation of this innovative combination and unearth how its #MachineLearning ca
